[TYPO3] TV: How to create different page templates

[James Walters]

Without knowing which documentation you have read ('Futuristic  
Template Building'?) or which versions of TemplaVoila and Typo3 you  
are working with (things look a bit different in recent versions) and  
how far you have got setting up your site, Michael, it is hard to know  
what to say.

It sounds as though you have mapped your html template in TV and  
created a TO/DS in which your 'zones' have been mapped to contain  
'content elements'. So every page you create which inherits that, when  
viewed in the Web > Page module, will display your 'zones' by name and  
you'll be able to insert any content elements you want into them  
there. But that's only if you have done some other things you haven't  
mentioned. Have you, for instance:

1	selected the "Page Template Structure' and then 'Use Template  
Design' (which you've just created) from the pull-down selectors in  
your site root page's 'propperties'?
(Go to Web>Page, select the root page in the pagetree, click on the  
'Edit page properties' pencil icon)

2	selected 'CSS Styled Content' in the site root page template record?
(Go to Web > Template, select the root page in the pagetree, 'click  
here to edit whole template record', scroll down to 'Include static  
(from extensions)', select 'CSS Styled Content' in righthand window)

3	Have you added the following TS somewhere in the 'Setup' window of  
the same template record?

page = PAGE
page.typeNum = 0
page.10 = USER
page.10.userFunc = tx_templavoila_pi1->main_page

I hope this helps

James
